Chapter 858: Coman Is a Good Coach!

After watching the Madrid derby in Madrid, Yang Huan rushed back to the UK the next day.

That afternoon, he was at the Honour Stadium in Southampton to watch the Saints play Newcastle.

As one of Yang Huan's few enemies, Ashley's big mouth made another statement before the game, believing that the Magpies, who have not won a victory in the new season with two draws and one loss, will take away three points from Glory Stadium.

This has also become a hot topic that many people joke about before the game.

As a result, in the afternoon game, with Suarez's brace, Di Maria and Sanchez's goals, the Saints beat Newcastle 4-0 at home, won four consecutive wins in the new season, and slapped Ashley's mouth hard.

Three days later, at home, the Saints welcomed Bundesliga powerhouse Schalke 04.

Although, in the game, Schalke 04 took the lead in taking advantage of a set-piece opportunity to break through Southampton's goal.

But this goal also completely aroused the blood of the Saints.

Just nine minutes after Schalke 04's goal, the Saints equalised from a long-range effort from Nemanja Matic.

Danilo, Sturridge and Suarez then scored to win the first round of the Champions League group stage with a 4-1 home win over Schalke 04.

However, Atletico Madrid was not so lucky.

Simeone's side had just beaten Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium and won a hearty victory, but they travelled to Greece, where they were ambushed by Olympiacos and lost 2-3 away.

The game also exposed some of the problems that were hidden after the victory over Real Madrid.

For example, the bench lineup, and the run-in of the team.

Judging from the cards, Atletico Madrid's bench lineup is not bad, there is basically no problem with the forward line, in the midfield, the veteran Gabi is still huge, and the new Brazilian player Alex Teixeira is also highly praised by Simeone.

There are also homegrown youngsters like Samper, Raphinha, Saul and Oliver Torres, who are also talented.

But the key question is how to establish an effective rotation mechanism and get the team into shape as quickly as possible.

With that starting line-up, Atletico Madrid would not have been able to succeed on multiple fronts.

Another unfortunate thing is that Real Madrid, after a heavy defeat to Atletico Madrid, turned around and beat Basel Switzerland 5-1 at the Bernabeu.

This made Yang Huan cry and laugh very much.

Could it be that Real Madrid can't beat the eldest brother and the second brother, so they specifically pick the little brother?

Nimei, as for fighting so hard?

As the saying goes, the house leak happened to rain overnight.

Atletico Madrid and Basel both lost, and it was not interesting for Benfica to win, so they lost 0-2 at home to Zenit St. Petersburg, which made Yang Huan very depressed.

In terms of strength, Benfica is not better than Zenit St. Petersburg, but at least it is about the same.

I didn't expect to lose at home, it's really ......

Forget it, you can't scold foul language.

Of course, there was good news that Ajax drew 1-1 at home to Paris Saint-Germain, while Anderlecht drew 1-1 away to Turkey's Galatasaray.

This is a good result for both Ajax and Anderlecht.

But the biggest surprise came from Monaco.

What even Yang Huan didn't expect was that Monaco sat at the Louis II Stadium, with Mitrovic's hat trick, goals from Tovan, Fekir and Carrasco, 6-0 victory over Belarus's Borisov, and won the debut after many years of absence, returning to the Champions League.

This battle not only made the fans of Monaco very excited, but even Yang Huan, who was far away in Southampton, was very excited.

Before the game was over, he called Jean-Luc Bissing as soon as possible, asking Bissing to replace him and praise the group of players in the Monaco team.

"Koeman is such a good coach!"

After Young Master Huan hung up the phone call to Bissin, he sighed with emotion.

When Monaco was about to change the coach, he himself was very hesitant, and he was a little difficult to start in the face of many candidates.

To be honest, even if he has watched the game for so many years and run so many teams, in fact, he is still a layman on the real tactical level.

Because that's too specialized, it's too complicated.

Even as famous coaches, such as Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho, they are more of a spiek-in-the-tumb, and no one dares to say that they know football completely.

The world's top handsomes are like this, let alone a layman like Yang Huan.

"The head coach of the Netherlands, none of them are simple!"

Bielsa, who was sitting next to Yang Huan, also nodded in agreement.

When he chose Koeman, he also gave a lot of advice, and finally made Young Master Huan make up his mind.

And no one expected that Koeman's first season in charge of Monaco would be so good.

If it is surprising to rush to the top in Ligue 1, then the first round of the group stage of the Champions League is definitely a plus, because Koeman's European experience is already a plus, and now it has been cashed in, which is even more satisfying.

Yang Huan snorted, "I have also learned a lot through this selection of coaches, especially seeing Koeman perform so well now, which proves that our original choice was right and we are on the right path." ”

What Young Master Huan said is not only to enhance the authority and status of the technical director, but also to include a new project of the Miracle Football Group, that is, the establishment of a technical and tactical advisory group.

The so-called technical and tactical advisory group, to put it bluntly, is to invite a group of people with rich coaching experience, rich tactical knowledge and tactical literacy to form a team of consultants, act as a think tank, and give some professional advice for the group's decision-making.

For example, this time, when Coman was invited, it was not only Jean Luc Bissing, the technical director, who was making the decision, but Yang Huan also asked the opinions of Bielsa, Van Gaal and Simeone, and even Yang Huan specifically talked to Benfica, Valencia and Feyenoord and other teams to learn about Koeman's coaching.

After a rigorous and detailed evaluation, Yang Huan finally decided to appoint Coman as the head coach of Monaco.

And now, Koeman's performance in Monaco is naturally proof that this set of pre-assessment is necessary and indeed useful.

"Marcelo, I mentioned it to you before, how did you think about it?" Yang Huan asked with concern.

If Miracle Football Group wants to set up a technical and tactical advisory group, then there must be the right person to lead the group.

Moreover, considering that basically every person who can enter this group has a rich resume and even a glorious past, the candidate who serves as the team leader must be highly respected and talented.

Among the famous coaches that Yang Huan knows, it is impossible for Ferguson to come to the Miracle Football Group, so Bielsa is the most suitable.

This is his fifth season in charge of Southampton and he has previously revealed a bit of a disagreement as he feels he can't bring more variation to the team.

He does have his own pursuits and goals, but at least with the current level of technology, with the physical fitness and ability of the current players, he is still a little far from his goal.

This is not something that can be done overnight, it will take a long time.

Southampton have won big games on all fronts this season, which to some extent affirms Bielsa's achievements over the past few years, as well as Southampton's overall strength in all aspects.

On the other hand, the Saints are too strong to be challenging.

Without challenge, there is no excitement, and there is no motivation to continue exploring.

Therefore, Bielsa left after the Saints won the Premier League and the Champions League, but after Yang Huan retained, he continued to stay in the team this season.

And what Yang Huan means is that he can leave the Saints and become the head of the technical and tactical advisory team of the Miracle Football Group, with full responsibility for this department.

"Marcelo, we have been working together for five years now, you know very well who I am, what I promised will definitely be fulfilled, I believe that after taking this position, your position seems to have turned to the background, but in fact, it can allow you to devote more attention to the study of tactics and football."

In addition to providing advice to decision-makers when selecting managers and players, as well as giving professional advice on the formation of teams, the Technical and Tactical Advisory Group also has an important mission to keep abreast of the trend and trend of football skills and tactics.

The technical and tactical development of professional football in Europe is truly changing with each passing day, changing all the time, and they are mutually reinforcing.

Therefore, the establishment of an institution dedicated to this field can help Miracle Football Group to keep abreast of the dynamics of professional football, both in terms of team philosophy and player development.

It's like now, Monaco is focusing on cultivating right-back Fabinho, which is a strange flower.

First of all, as a full-back, he is tall and flexible, but he is not like a right-back like Danilo and McConn, let alone an attacking full-back like Alves and Carvajal.

In the past, it was hard to imagine using a player like Fabinho as a right-back.

Because, once you meet the opponent's fast, agile and strong one-on-one winger, it is simply a nightmare.

But now it's different.

With the innovation and evolution of tactics, professional football has a special need for a tall full-back like Fabinho.

So, Manchester City are watching, Manchester United is watching, even Arsenal and Bayern Munich are watching him.

Of course, for the time being, it's just a matter of attention.

But isn't that telling?

In Yang Huan's view, youth training and player training are in the entire professional football industry chain, which is manufacturing.

Well, since it's a manufacturing industry, you have to at least understand what products you want to make and what kind of customer groups you want to cater to.

Oh, is it just casual, with a black eye, so what's the fun?

Just imagine, in today's Premier League, where the continental style is dominant, you want to cultivate a traditional English midfielder?

No need at all!

Therefore, in Yang Huan's view, the role of the technical and tactical advisory group is very great, and he needs a bull like Bielsa to sit in charge, so that he can rest assured.

It's just that the Argentine madman is willing to leave the front line early?

Yang Huan tried to convince him, but Bielsa remained silent.

It can be seen that he is thinking about it, but there is no answer for the time being.

"Marcelo, you think about it again, don't worry, I'll wait for your reply." Yang Huan said with a smile.

Bielsa nodded, still not speaking.

Because he didn't talk much.

After Young Master Huan walked out of the office, he looked at the bright sunshine outside and exhaled heavily.

It seems that it is necessary to start looking for and considering the head coach of Southampton in advance.
